Another example is the 17-story building in Tulsa now known as Oneok Plaza. It was originally planned by Cities Service Oil Company to be 52 stories; not longer after construction began they scaled it back 37 stories. When it reached 16 stories, they halted construction. A year later, after being sold to Oneok, construction resumed, but topped out at 17 stories.
